Badger Bimmers driving event @ BFR June 3rd/July 15th 2013

You can count me in if I'm able to get the 528i up and running by then. I've been dying to go to the track but need a car worthy of it!

Awesome! I would like to think I have had an exceptionally wild/exciting/fulfilling life and I still think track driving is up near the top of the list of favorite life experiences.

I am planning to do both as well as Road America in Sept ...

Awesome! Have you done RA yet? if so, what kind of speeds were you hitting? I was hitting about 105 mph on the straight at BFR. Im afraid my car will feel incredibly slow at RA

[merl]

I have not but you are correct ... your car will feel slow on the straights but there are some FAST turns at RA that will freak you out.

[Brian.]

I wanna ride in someones car at RA. That track looks amazingly fast.

[Ryan...]

A track day would be awesome, but to show up in a loud subaru might not win me too many friends at a BMW event..

There was an RX8 there last time and a few other non BMW cars. I dont think anyone would mind, just gotta keep the flatbilled hats and energy drinks tucked away. The RX8 must have been taking it real easy because my M20 + all season tires seemed to be busting his balls. I think I got a point from him 3 or 4 times. I know I gave merl a point once or twice. I will have to see if I have check my videos again.

RX-8, not that fast. Just saying.

Great handling from what I have read though.

They're relatively decent. That's because the 13B REW engine only weighs like 65lbs? 1.3L for the loss!

Dang, it sucks that its on a week day. I might do the track day at RA with MFBA in early May though.
